    Every time the news celebrities start blabbing about ZOMG PANIC STORM COMING!!!! I basically tune them out. If a snowstorm is the most newsworthy thing they can find, they need to find a new job. Granted, this storm could be significant, but the last 15 years or so they have overhyped every storm that's come along. Except maybe Katrina, and that was just poor planning on the part of New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers, and FEMA, not to mention that almost nobody was prepared to begin with. If people weren't so dependent on the .gov in the first place, these storms would not be newsworthy. Hell, the first thing I did when we had that big snowstorm in the spring a few years back (40ish inches in a couple of days in Aurora) was dig out a path to the hot tub. Got to have your priorities straight...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
